What a wonderful inspiration site for today's challenge! And since I used several die cuts, I'm adding it the LOVEFEST2014I challenge, too.
For the IC, I was inspired by This and THIS. Especially since the hydrangeas are the same color as the ones in my yard (when they are in bloom).
I stamped the hydrangea 3 times, colored them with Copics & fussy cut them. I had a frame that was a die cut leftover so I used it on top of a white die cut ODBD Quatrefoil Pattern. For the background I used a bleeding tissue technique piece I made a long time ago. It's a simple tech I learned years ago.
The bow was also colored with Copics to match and the greeting was stamped on die cut tag. Thanks so much for looking! More info on the bleeding tissue technique & colors of Copics I used are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Truly GORGEOUS, Julie. Your coloring of the blossoms is SO well done and so realistic. The die cut "window" is exquisite. A lovely card that would be appropriate for many occasions.

Fabulous coloring on those hydrangeas, and love the diecut you used with them!

Oh so glorious! What a wonderful Mother's Day card this would make. I really love that die cut window with the tissue technique colour behind. Such a really beautiful card!
